Here is my newest chapter, inspired by OnceUponAMads! I hope you all enjoy and please feel free to leave a review as they really do make my day!
Just a little note to say I have taken down my other story 'I will find you, I will always find you' for now, I don't know if many people were liking it and I honestly was struggling to find the motivation to finish chapter two, hopefully I'll be able to finish it and publish it all again at a later date.
Again this is all unedited but I hope you still enjoy it :)
"Killian, you can't give a baby rum!" Emma exclaimed to her husband as they walked through the woods trying to find a spot for their family picnic.
"I know, I was joking" Killian replied with a small laugh.
"Well I hope you told Aladdin you were joking, I don't want him thinking he can give his and Jasmine's new baby rum"
"Of course I did, Love"
"Daddy, did I have rum?" Charlotte asked from where she sat upon her father's shoulders.
"No and you won't be for a long time yet either" Emma told her "We will be sticking to water and juice"
"You still never did tell why we had to stick to water?" Killian asked as he remembered the conversation from a few years ago when Emma had come back from another realm with Regina and Robin Hood.
"Let's just say the wish realm you was a proper old drunk pirate"
"Old?"
"Yes, Old and a bit podgy too" Emma laughed as she poked her husband's flat stomach.
"Podgy? Like fat?" Killian asked with a confused expression on his face.
Emma nodded as she switched the picnic basket to her other arm. "This is getting heavy, don't suppose you fancy setting up anywhere around here?"
"Look! We can sit by them pretty flowers" Charlotte exclaimed with excitement as she pointed to the pretty flowers that were just up the path from where they were.
"They look like the ones from Camelot" Emma smiled as she saw them.
"They do" Hook replied.
"Where's Camelot?" Charlotte asked her parents.
"It's another realm, Lovebug" Emma explained "A bit like the Enchanted Forest and Neverland"
"Can we go?"
"No" both her parents said at the same time. Camelot held a lot of bad memories for both of them that neither wished to relive anytime soon.
"Why?" Charlotte pouted as they approached the field of flowers.
"Because we've told you, we don't want you going to any other realms while your so little" Emma told her as she placed the picnic basket on the ground and then took Charlotte down from Killian's shoulders. "These places aren't for little girls like you"
"But little girls must live there for there to be grown ups there" Charlotte pondered
"Well yes, but they were born there, it's all they know" Emma tried to explain as she laid the picnic mat out on the floor "They've grown up with Dragons, Orgres and magic"
"I know magic!" Charlotte challenged
"I know, but not that sort of magic" Emma tried to keep magic out of Charlotte's life and only used it when it was completely necessary. Charlotte herself hadn't yet shown any signs of having her Mom's magic ability's which in a way Emma was glad of as it was one less thing her daughter had to worry about and one less thing as a mother that she had to worry about too.
"What sort is it then?"
"It's hard to explain, but it's just not the sort of magic I want you seeing"
"Okay" Charlotte pouted as she sat on the picnic mat where Killian had started laying out the food from the basket.
"Hey, you still get to do things most normal three year olds don't" he said as he put a straw in her juice cartoon and passed it to her.
"Like what?"
Killian came and sat next to her while Emma finished sorting out the rest of the food "Like sail on the greatest pirate ship ever made with Captain Hook, Have dinner with the real Snow White and Prince Charming and have sleepovers with the Evil Queen!"
Charlotte laughed "but you're not Captain Hook you're Daddy"
"I know I'm Daddy to you, but you watched the film with Henry, right?"
Charlotte nodded "But he didn't look anything like you"
"I know... that was bad form on there part. I'm much more handsome than that guy with the big hat and moustache! They got your Grandma and Grandpa right though, don't you think?"
"I think Grandma Snow is much prettier than she is in the film" Charlotte paused for a moment and took a sip of her juice before looking up at her dad with curious eyes "Do other people want to meet Grandma then?"
"Yes, from what your Mother has told me, lots of little girls and boys are big fans of your grandparents"
"Why doesn't Grandma and Grandpa go and meet them then? That would be a nice thing for them to do, wouldn't it?"
Emma looked up when she heard the conversation going on between her Daughter and husband and quickly made her way over. "They do get to meet Snow White, just not your Grandma"
"So there is another Snow White?" Charlotte wondered with a confused expression.
"No... Sometimes people dress up as her and pretend to be her, to make little girls like you happy. There is a magical place called Disney World where they say all the fairytale characters live"
"But they don't they live here or in the Enchanted Forest"
"We know that but other people don't. All they have is the books and films to go on, they don't know it's all real like we do" Emma explained.
"So we should tell them!" Charlotte exclaimed
"But that would ruin everything, the town would be swamped with people wanted to visit the real prince and princesses and we would never get to live normally any more."
"But how do the ones at Disney World get to live normally?"
"Because they're just pretend, they wear a costume and once the park is closed for the night they get to go home"
"Do the other children know they're pretend?"
"No, they believe they're the real ones but that's what makes it so magical" Emma told her before looking over to Killian with a help me expression. This conversation was getting far to confusing for her so she had no idea how confusing it must be for a three year old.
"Who's ready for some lunch?" Killian asked.
"Me!" Charlotte squealed.
"Tuck in then" He handed her a paper plate. "Make sure you have a bit of everything though, not just the sugared doughnuts"
"I will" Charlotte giggled as she reached for a jam sandwich.
"Good lass" Killian smiled at her. Emma came over and snuggled up next to him "Not hungry?"
"Not yet, just wanted to say thank you for getting me out of that"
"You're most welcome, although I should probably apologise for starting the conversation off in the first place."
"No, you're okay. You were just trying to help."
"I didn't do too well at helping though"
"You got her off the subject of wanting to go to Camelot!"
"Very true" he leant down and gave his wife a soft kiss on the lips.
"Mommy, Daddy are you having any food?" Charlotte asked as she came over to where her parents were sat.
"Yes, we were just about to get some" Emma told her as she noticed the food piled high on her daughters plate "Are you going to eat all that?"
"Yeah, I'm gonna eat it all!"
"I hope you do, It'll be sad to see it go to waste otherwise"
Charlotte sat down and began to eat from her plate which was piled with sandwiches, cucumber sticks, crisps, grapes, cookies, chocolate buttons and of course, a sugared doughnut; while her parents went and picked out there food. She sat there happily eating her jam sandwich when a fly started buzzing around her. "Go Away!" she attempted to bat the fly away with her hand but missed it. "Bloody hell! I said go away Mr Fly!" she said as she attempted to bat it away for the second time.
Emma and Killian both stopped what they were doing any looked at each other "Did she say what I think she said?" Killian asked with an amused grin.
"Yes, I told you that you had been saying it too much!" Emma said as she stood up and went over to Charlotte, took her plate and moved her away from the bothersome fly.
"Ah that's just the pirate in her coming out!" Killian said proudly.
"But we don't want her inner pirate coming out around my parents or anyone else for that matter"
Killian laughed "But it's quite adorable hearing her say it, right?"
Emma shook her head and held back a laugh "Yes, I'll agree it was quite cute!"
"What was cute?" Charlotte asked with a mouthful of crisps.
"Nothing, don't worry and what have we told you about talking with your mouthful?" Emma asked her.
"Not to do it" She said with her mouth still full of crisps.
"Exactly, so please don't say anything else till you've swallowed what's in your mouth"
Charlotte swallowed her food "Sorry, Mommy. I won't do it again"
"It's okay, it's just not nice to see"
"I know. Uncle Neal does it sometimes and it's gross"
"See, so you know what it's like for us now when you talk with everything in your mouth"
Charlotte nodded as she took another crisp from her plate and popped it in her mouth.
Killian came over and sat down with his plate of food "This is a lovely picnic"
Charlotte swallowed her crisps before agreeing with her father.
"After this maybe we can play some games?" Emma suggested.
"What games?" Charlotte asked.
"I don't know, I'm sure I can think of something"
"Okay!" Charlotte replied excitedly before going back to her lunch.
Would you like a part two of this oneshot with them playing games? or would you rather I left it here? let me know :)
